Synopsis:
The Brotherhood of Dada break into the vault of Horst Eismann, a collector of occult items. They steal a painting with mystical properties which allow it to devour those who behold it. After stealing the painting, they bring it to Paris, where Mr. Nobody activates it with a poem. The entire city including the Brotherhood is then taken inside the painting.

Meanwhile, Rebis struggles to reconcile his new identity. Dorothy then alerts the Chief and Robotman to the trouble in Paris.
